All members of the HPU Community are able to report concerns to the University. The different types of reports are listed below. On-Campus emergencies (medical/safety) should be reported to HPU Security by calling 336-841-9111. Off-campus emergencies may also be reported to 911.
Student Complaint: The basis for a student’s complaint may be that an act or situation is objectionable in the view of the student. High Point University provides a process for student complaints to be addressed. Complaints may be about any act, situation, or aspect of life at HPU. Complaints will be addressed by the Office of Community Standards. Students may file a report anonymously but this may limit the University’s ability to thoroughly respond.
HPU CARE Alert: The HPU CARE Team is a multidisciplinary group of professional staff members dedicated to providing support for students in all levels of crisis or who have been identified as exhibiting concerning or worrisome behaviors. The CARE Team takes a holistic approach to identify concerns, assess needs, and implement appropriate interventions.
The main goal of the CARE Team is to help students to be successful through individual support and care and the coordination of HPU resources. Upon receiving a referral, a member of the CARE Team will reach out to the student to discuss the issue(s) they may be facing and to develop a plan to help address any concerns. Students may be connected with or referred to additional supporting offices (The Office of Counseling Services, Peer Assisted Learning Services, Residence Life, Office of Accessibility Resources, Religious Life, etc.)
Please note that the CARE Team should NOT be contacted as first-response to mental health crises/emergencies. If there is an immediate threat or concern for someone’s health or safety, please call High Point University Campus Police & Security at 336-841-9111 or ext. 9111 from a campus phone or call 911.
Care Alert Referrals are processed through the Office of Student Life and not the Office of Counseling Services.
